Splatoon 2 Nintendo Switch Review

220x129 Splatoon 2
Splatoon 2 is the sequel to the original Wii U title. The system didn’t have many shooters so a paintball style where you play as a human/squid using ink based weapons really worked with newcomers to the game. Gameplay From first glance at Splatoon 2, I was shocked. It must be said that I played the first entry for just Continue Reading...

220x129 Crash Bcoot
Platforming meets punishment. When an aged gamer recounts their gaming story, a reference to ‘the game that started it all’ is anything but a scarcity. Gamers of the early 80’s might tell you their story of arcade flashbacks, and pounding countless shrapnel into a Space Invaders or Ms. Pacman arcade cabinet, or their amazement of being gifted their very first Continue Reading...

Drifting Lands PC Review

220x129 Drifting Lands
Having fond memories of things in the style of R-Type, Raiden arcade game I was expecting something of that sort, short burn lives, lots of projectiles to avoid and plenty of big scary bad guys. All of that is here and more, modifiable ships, different grades of missions and refreshingly short but fulfilling missions. Not only that a fairly strong Continue Reading...

Hunting Simulator PlayStation 4 Review

Posted on by
220x129 Hunting Sim
I just don’t get hunting, or at least trophy hunting. There is something about humans with guns shooting animals from a distance whilst unaware that doesn’t sit well with me. Perhaps it is due to me being all about giving a sporting chance. I’d much rather see how the hunter would fair if the animals had lasers attached, or vice Continue Reading...

TGC2 Preview
Golf is a hit and miss sport, some love it, some hate it. But for those who do enjoy a game here and there, it is generally a good experience being out in nature working on your technique, others are pure frustration.
